IDLitReader::GetData

The IDLitReader::GetData function method is called by the system to retrieve the data from the current file. When called, the reader should access the current filename and read the desired data. Once the information is loaded, the reader should place the obtained data in a data object, which is then passed back to the system.

This method will contain a majority of the implementation for a new reader class.

Your file reader must implement the GetData method and create an iTool data object.

Syntax

Result = Obj->[IDLitReader::]GetData(Data)

Return Value

Returns a 1 if successful, or a 0 if the read operation failed.

Arguments
